Shoulder surgery for Matt Kemp

The surgery is a cleanup of his left A-C joint, the same shoulder he had major surgery on last offseason after injuring himself running into the outfield wall in Colorado.

So he hurts his shoulder while he’s not playing because his ankle is hurt. He may have reached Greg Oden territory.

Not a shocking revelation.

Just days before their first playoff appearance in four seasons, the Los Angeles Dodgers learned Sunday they’ll be without center fielder Matt Kemp throughout the postseason.

A Sunday morning MRI to Kemp’s injured left ankle showed significant swelling and weakening in the bone, according to Dodgers team doctor Neal ElAttrache, and the team decided that Kemp could do further damage by playing on the injury. He left the Dodgers clubhouse on crutches.
